I really want it... (For my DD obviously, fetching as I'd look in a mouse romper.)

DH says £40 is ridiculous.

I'm hoping people side with me so I can order it for our holiday Wink

No. Although I would pay £88 for the mouse play dress and the fox play dress.
If I had the money and a little girl.
I don't and DD is 14.

I agree - it's cute but not £40 cute.

I know it's not summer anymore, but we're going to Florida in a few weeks so I'm shopping for that...

yes.

ouryve · 19/08/2014 21:25

It's cute and 'd have fun making something like that, but I wouldn't pay £40 to buy one that might get worn 2 or 3 times.

I'd also wonder about the washability in the event of poo-splosions.

Purplefrogshoes · 19/08/2014 21:29

i think you should buy the reindeer one too for christmas Wink

MrsJossNaylor · 19/08/2014 21:43

Total rip off. No.

appealtakingovermylife · 19/08/2014 21:54

Op if you like it, can afford to buy it and your dd will get a lot of wear out of it then maybe get the size bigger and it may easier to justify.
You will always get a difference of opinion on mn but there are some things worth splashing out on, like my little oilily obsession;)

BreadForBrains · 19/08/2014 22:52

Oh my god, my nieces nickname is mouse, I'm ordering it! She's mouse obsessed and 4 - I hope they have them in her size!

WhereforeArtThou · 19/08/2014 22:56

I think you should try and make it yourself. It looks like it wouldn't be to tricky.

Nottinghill1 · 19/08/2014 22:56

No,not cute enough.

BringMeSunshine2014 · 19/08/2014 23:04

I guess it depends on your disposable income and if DD will wear it next summer or not. I wouldn't spend 40 now on a summer item - even if I was going to Florida. But if your DH is a footballer or you are 'whatever it is women do that earn stupid money' then do it - I guess.

Not that you care I'm sure - but I don't like it either.

fabulousfour · 19/08/2014 23:06

Have you looked directly on suppliers website?

4boysxhappy · 20/08/2014 00:07

If I liked it as much as you say you do (and had a girl) Yes I would.

musicalendorphins2 · 20/08/2014 03:27

Well, even if it were free, I would not put it on my child. It is very drab and frumpy ugly. Sorry.

KoalaDownUnder · 20/08/2014 03:45

I think it's sort of twee and not very cute, I'm afraid.

BreadForBrains · 20/08/2014 08:44

I've ordered it for dniece, she will be ridiculously excited!
I think it's cute, at 4 you're allowed to look a bit eccentric :)

OwlCapone · 20/08/2014 08:50

I think it's utterly hideous!

UptheChimney · 20/08/2014 09:17

Oh god, that's a naff piece of clothing. Yuk

everydayaschoolday · 20/08/2014 09:20

No. Overpriced.
